That's not how seasoning works at all.
Clean your pan!!
- Did that. Was too stupid to properly dry it, so it was still slippery and it fell out of my hand. I then had the brilliant idea that I could convince the pan to make less noise (it was late) by putting my fist in its fall.
  
  Aftermath
  
  Diagnosis: metacarpal V fracture, required surgery (2 k-wires)
  
  After surgery (October 31st)
  
  New brace (14 days after)

  Truly a wake-up call. Never clean your pans. Best not clean any dishes. /j
  
  But did it make less noise?
- Are you telling me to just waste bacon fat?! I always just leave the pan on high after I'm done cooking. As you are supposed to. It's called baking the seasoning on the pan. The oil in the bacon attaches to the older bacon oil, and makes the other food you cook taste better!
  
  On a scale from 1 to 10, how often have the neighbors called the fire department on you this week?
  
  ... ew.
I would not want to eat off this guy's cast iron lol
- This guy definitely puts his cast iron in the dishwasher
Wash your cast iron!
I guess some people on the bus are seasoning their.....uhhhh......body, I guess. You can smell them from 20 feet away.
- Are these new skidmarks?
This is just gatekeeping seasoning and I won't stand for it (while getting e-coli from my unwashed dishes).
It's an enchanted plate.
Plastic plates?
- Yeah, part of the joke (that OP didn't get since they used this title) is that it's a disposable, single use plate.

So… not washing plates is disgusting but not washing a frying pan is seasoning?
- Not washing a frying pan is also disgusting. The seasoning on a cast iron pan is a layer of polymerised oil for a non-stick layer, not stuff left from previous food
  
  The layers of oil bind to each other with layers of carbon, which do indeed come from the food you cook.
